KAI places "safety" as the top priority in all its actions and activities and continuously strives to achieve the goal of
zero safety accidents in aircraft development and production test flights based on the implementation of safety practices.
KAI gives top priority to developing and establishing an advanced safety culture
by preemptively identifying safety hazards, assessing risks, and taking mitigating measures by
operating an aviation safety management system that can lead the aerospace industry.
In order to implement the aviation safety management system for systematic and sustainable growth,
KAI has established and operates an aviation safety organization consisting of a general safety manager,
responsible safety managers, and divisional department heads, including core safety staff under the
CEO, to actively communicate and strengthen preventive safety risk management.
In addition, KAI conducts annual analysis and resetting of safety performance indicators and targets to
continuously achieve aviation safety goals and reviews and manages target achievement on a quarterly basis.
KAI conducts emergency response drills at least four times a year to respond to anticipated emergencies
between aircraft development and production test flights, cultivates initial response capabilities, and
identifies and improves problems through self-evaluation of response drills to ensure timely response to emergencies.

Aviation Safety Risk Management

KAI has established an aviation safety risk management system to identify and analyze aviation safety hazards in advance, assess the level of risk, and implement preventive measures to mitigate risks. KAI strengthens preventive measures by collecting various safety data and measuring and analyzing risks, and it takes appropriate mitigation measures according to the degree of risk at the risk assessment stage.

Aviation Safety Assurance

KAI conducts internal audits of aviation safety, issues corrective action requests in areas where deficiencies exist, implements improvement measures, and continuously monitors the results and effectiveness of the measures. In accordance with the Aviation Safety Management System Manual, the results of internal aviation safety audits are analyzed and reflected in the next internal audit plan to ensure continuous management rather than a one-time event. KAI has established a seasonal aviation safety hazard mitigation plan to preemptively implement measures to mitigate potential flight and production safety hazards according to the season. In order to prevent safety accidents that may be caused by the increasing number and difficulty of aircraft development and production test flights, as well as the seasonal nature of aircraft development and production, KAI conducts its own
aviation safety supervision at all times to minimize risks by comprehensively coordinating and controlling all personnel, material, and environmental factors.

Aviation Safety Promotion Activities

KAI holds an annual company-wide Safety Day event to raise safety awareness among all employees. It is an opportunity to reaffirm the practice of safety culture and express a strong commitment to safety through the CEO's Commitment to Safety. KAI conducts safety promotion activities for the continuous development of safety management, such as acquiring new safety knowledge and information through special lectures by invited safety experts. KAI also instills pride and motivation by rewarding individuals and groups who have contributed to safety activities. In addition, KAI holds parallel safety practice competitions and safety symposiums to expand employee participation.
KAI also conducts twice-yearly flight safety meetings for test pilots and test flight technical experts to listen to the voices of current departments and reflect them in improving the flight safety environment.

Aviation Safety Training

KAI has developed a cyber training course on flight safety for all employees and conducts mandatory training twice a year, designated and appointed safety officers for each functional department to strengthen their skills and promote professionalism by attending courses at specialized flight safety institutions, and invited safety experts to give lectures to managers at least twice a year.
